A Different View

Several years ago, during a sweat lodge ceremony, I asked, quite sincerely, to see humanity the way God does.  Some time after that I came out of my morning meditation and felt only great love, compassion and understanding for myself and my fellow humans.  I can only describe the feeling as being like that of a loving parent toward their own baby or infant, great love with the assumption that the behaviors of the baby will be pretty silly as they learn about life.  Before that meditation my view of myself and the rest of humanity was quite a bit harsher.  Through my meditative practices I have realized that God does indeed thoroughly embrace humanity and the human experience.  I sense no judgement or requirements, only love.
